[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 4226408, member: 41653"] While the rest of your post is very informative, I wouldn't go quite so far as to say that. I would agree that the 2014 and earlier CVT has some well-known problems. A great part of their problems stemmed from insufficient trans oil cooling and lack of maintenance. The insufficient cooling is an engineering failure, the lack of maintenance is just Joe and Jane Car-owner doing what they do (or don't do). The original question was about the 2012-ish used Nissans being so inexpensive, and why. The answer is because of the possible (probable?) CVT problems. As for not getting a Nissan with a CVT, well... If you buy a Nissan with an automatic, it is a CVT. There is no getting around it. Nissan has gotten much, much better with the technology, and has led the way. Still, I would not purchase a pre-2015 Nissan with a CVT, unless I could buy it cheap enough to replace the CVT and still be in it right. [/QUOTE]
